The embankment descends from SW to NE. The slope is comparable with what
I have seen on the Moselle.

It is highest in the SW and lowest in the NE? Find some pretty flowers
to plant. You are already at the northern limt of grape growing and you
need every advantage. Go to Google Maps, "Bernkastel-Kues, Deutschland".
You will see that the vineyards are on the eastern bank of the Moselle
and face the SW. If you follow the Moselle downstream, towards Koblenz,
you will see no vineyards on the southern bank, facing north.

Check with a local Winzer (vigneron) to determine the possibility of a
successful vineyard on this slope.
